I am telling you guys this a day before I make a social media statement because ya'll are the audience that matters most. I also want to let you guys know how I'm feeling because this is not the conversation I want to be having on social media. I am highly heartbroken and embarrassed.

It has come to my attention that my video editor, Almonte Films/Nova Almonte has been accused of sexual assault, abuse, intimidation, and other horrible things that in no way reflect my values or that of Intelexual Media. I believe the survivors and have moved to terminate the relationship. As a rape survivor and someone with severe trust issues (ask yourselves how often you've seen me collaborate with others), I feel violated and betrayed, but that is NOTHING close to what the victims are feeling. You can get more information from this instagram page (trigger warning!!). When I share this information on twitter and instagram tomorrow, please boost so that other victims can come forward. 

This shit is painful yall. I need to regroup and reorganize. Please be patient with me while I look for a new video editor and try not to let my feelings of naivety and stupidity make me slow down or burn out. Videos may not look as high quality or may take a bit longer to produce. Also, please boost the posts tomorrow so that victims can get the accountability and/or retribution they're seeking and begin to heal. 

Thanks,

Elexus Jionde

As a supporter of Almonte this is highly upsetting news. But like you said, I believe survivors and for that reason I also have to withdraw my support. I'm so disappointed.

I love that you are burning him like last month's garbage! Don't worry about your videos. We follow you because of what you have to say, not because of the editing quality, you know. Besides, this is the perfect opportunity to give a young someone the opportunity they need, and turn that shit-splat into something positive. Take all the time you need. We're here for you 💖

Wow, had no idea he was your video editor but I used to love him and his content when i was younger. This is extremely disappointing and sick. My heart goes out to the victims

For me Patreon is a way to support creators and isn’t an entertainment expense to satiate my consumption. Meaning, take your time. We’re here to support you.
